“Dear PoPville,

My boiler here in Petworth broke last spring. Pilot light wouldn’t stay lit. I finally got it fixed today, got a great neighbor referral to a local HVAC guy, turned out I had to replace the gas valve. My teenage kid is now so thrilled to own an antiquity from the 70’s! Hope they still build them like they used to!”
